2306 FPV Motors

2306 motors have a 23mm-wide, 6mm-tall stator and are the lighter, quicker-responding alternative to 2207 on a 5-inch quad, favoured for racing and light freestyle builds. This page collects every 2306 motor in our 5" Motors range. Choose KV for your battery first — 1700–1960KV for 6S, 2300KV and up for 4S — then compare weight and price; all of them fit the standard 16×16mm mount with M3 bolts and 5mm prop shafts.

How to choose a 2306 motor

Compared with a 2207, a 2306 spins up faster and weighs a few grams less, at the cost of a little low-end torque on heavy props. On a sub-600g racer or a 5-inch freestyle quad on light tri-blades that is the right trade.

  • KV: 1700–1960KV on 6S, 2300–2600KV on 4S. Higher KV in the same voltage means more RPM, more current and more heat.
  • Weight: 28–34g per motor; four motors are the largest single weight after the battery.
  • Bearings and bell: unibell designs and larger bearings survive more crashes; check the listing for shaft type (5mm threaded or T-mount).
  • Wire length: 15cm leads suit most 5-inch frames; shorter leads mean extension on stretched-X frames.

What we stock

iFlight XING-E Pro 2306 in 2–6S variants, T-Motor's F60 Pro V-LV in 1950KV and 2020KV, the MAD FS 2306 Thruster in 1750KV and 1960KV, FlyFishRC Flash 2306 1750KV in black and grey-purple, the GEPRC SpeedX2 2306E and the budget EMAX ECO II 2306. Siblings in other stator sizes — 2207 and 2207.5 for freestyle, 2306.5 and 2004 for lighter builds — are in the 5" Motors category.

Compatibility

Every 2306 here uses the 16×16mm mount pattern found on 5-inch frames and a 5mm shaft for standard 5-inch props. Pair them with a 4-in-1 ESC of 45–60A per motor for 6S freestyle; a 2306 at 1950KV on a 5.1×4.8 tri-blade peaks around 40–45A.

Match KV to pack voltage: a 1750KV 6S motor on 4S is sluggish, and a 2450KV 4S motor on 6S will overheat within a pack.

Frequently asked questions

2306 vs 2207 — which should I choose?
2306 for racing and light freestyle: quicker response, lighter. 2207 for heavier freestyle and cinematic builds: more torque on heavy props and larger packs. Both use the same mount and shaft.
What KV 2306 motor for 6S?
1700–1960KV. 1750KV is smooth and efficient, 1950KV is punchier and hotter. For 4S choose 2300–2600KV.
What ESC do 2306 motors need?
A 4-in-1 ESC rated 45–60A per motor for 6S 5-inch flying; 35–45A is enough on 4S. BLHeli_32 or AM32 firmware is standard.
